Review from Shiona R.
4/25/2012
I was over the moon to be walking home from work one day and stumble across this gem of a store...even more so when I realized they stocked cans of Irn Bru in the fridge.
If you have never tried Irn Bru (I have waxed lyrical about this drink in a previous review), it is a bright orange soda made in Scotland. I believe the recipe came from the god's and was handed to William Wallace (or Mel Gibson). Irn Bru is made from Girders, which is why it makes you incredibly strong when you drink it...I am talking stronger than Popeye, strong! Scottish folklore has it that the god's gave this secret recipe to William Wallace as they knew that one day the Scottish population would be renowned for their alcohol consuming and would need a beverage that could cure all wrong doing's from the night before. Thus if you are hungover, there is only one cure, in my humble opinion, ice cold Irn Bru.
I digress. Bulk Mine carry a number of Brisith goodies, including Bird's custard powder and yorkshire tea. They also have an array of other candies and other snacks to bulk buy.
This shop is most definitely worth a visit. -

This is the best of three candy shops on Yonge street (the other two being Tutti Fruitti and Sugar Mountain).
Bulk Mine has the best selection of candy of the three and the freshest sour keys I've ever seen! Mmmm
Most of the bulk candy was fairly reasonably priced, $1.49 per hundred grams for most of the sweets. Chocolate was more expensive. Awesome selection.
Lots of vintage toys and retro stuff plus a good range of British imported items.
Really clean interior too. -

I went back to this place yesterday for more candy and realized this is a great place to buy gifts. They have extra large pez with Star Wars and Shrek characters, fun retro lunchboxes and all kinds of vintage candy bars.
Interestingly, they also carry British food like crisps and mushy peas. One of the flavors of crisps (potato chips) was roast chicken!! It probably tastes good even if it sounds weird.Listed in: 5 star reviews: Shopping in…

This store has the best range of British imported foods/sweets/drinks i've seen in candy stores in Toronto so far. It is so fantastic to be able to walk in off the street and purchase a cold can of Irn Bru, or grab a packet of Walker's Crisps.
They do also have a terrific range of bulk candy and snacks too, as well as some packaged candy and novelties. But I know that i'll be going back for my Brit-fix!Listed in: Groceries etc - Toronto

I'm giving myself props because in two full weeks, I only visited this place once. My name should be entered in the Guinness Book Of World Records.
I looooooove candy and I looooove chocolate, so imagine my excitement when I found chocolate covered jujubes at this place! OH. MY. GOD. It's the best of both worlds, in every mouthful. Who said there was no such thing as heaven on earth?
Although I only had eyes for the aforementioned, I can still tell you that they have a very impressive selection of 'other' candies, nuts, dried fruits and chocolate.
About to have a meltdown if you don't take care of that very specific confectionery craving? Have no fear, the candy's all here! -

Ok I'm going to get it out of the way early so that hopefully it doesn't show up later. When I went into Bulk Mine I felt like a kid in a candy store, despite the fact that I was a fully grown adult in a candy store. I like the new generation of candy store because they mix classic candies that I can't find anywhere else with candies that I can only find in other countries. Bulk Mine has a good selection that could make anyone go diabetic in short order. My personal favorite, were the candy cigarettes with the brand name (and I'm being completely honest here, I don't joke about candy) "Just Like Dad candy Cigarettes". I thought it was an amusing look into a very different past. I would definitely recommend Bulk Mine to anyone with a sweet tooth who is looking for something other that what the local convenience store has to offer.
